Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 154 Ancient Saint
Xia Qiu stared dumbfounded at the golden-armored giant, and at Dao Yan, who was encased in the golden mecha, who had actually sent him flying backward. His face was full of disbelief.

Although he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by this kid in one move, his essence was not damaged, and he repaired the damage in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing the golden mech that could harm him, he immediately became very interested.

This kid is only at the second level of the Immortal Realm, yet he managed to defeat me with this golden mecha. It's truly unbelievable.

Having been caught off guard, Xia Qiu was stunned by the golden mecha. Now, fully alert, Xia Qiu launched an attack.

He wanted to gauge the potential of this golden mecha.

Of course, he also knew that he would not kill this disciple, and this disciple would not use any killing moves against him. Therefore, the two held back in their sparring, which caused an energy storm to rise up here, and for a time they were evenly matched.

Finally, watching one disciple after another enter this world, Xia Qiu felt embarrassed.

He shouted at the golden mecha, "Dao Yan, get out here right now!"

Faced with his master's roar, the golden mecha transformed into a ring and slipped onto Dao Yan's finger.

There stood a very handsome young man with a sunny smile on his face.

He was watching his angry master with a grin, completely unconcerned.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master."

Xia Qiu snorted coldly: "Well, you've grown wings, kid, and you actually dare to hit your master."

Dao Yan showed no fear on his face and walked up to his master with a smile: "Master, I have new ideas about formations and weapon forging. This golden-armored giant is the result of my research."

"In the future, I will rely on this golden-armored giant to slay the Dao and become king."

"I am currently only at the second level of the Immortal Realm, yet I have created this golden-armored giant god who can rival my master. I wonder what my master thinks of this?"

Xia Qiu originally intended to reprimand his disciple, but upon thinking of this golden-armored giant, he couldn't help but admire him.

"You haven't even reached the level of a King yet, but you already possess this kind of strength. It's truly commendable."

"But it is ultimately just an external thing; asceticism is our essence."

"In history, no one has ever become an emperor by crafting mechs or consuming elixirs. I have high hopes for your talent in cultivation and I really don't want you to go astray."

At this point, Xia Qiu couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Disciple obeys!" Dao Yan behaved very obediently.

Of course, all of this is just a facade; he will not yield.

“Master, during this trip I not only forged this golden-armored giant god, but I also obtained some good things.”

"what?"

"The Primordial Life Stone!"

"What? How is this possible?"

Xia Qiu was truly shocked upon hearing Dao Yan's words.

Legend has it that there are ancient mines in the world that produce primordial life stones.

But it is a forbidden zone for life, and ordinary people cannot obtain the Primordial Life Stone.

There are some scattered deposits of Primordial Stones in the cosmos, but not many.

It takes countless millennia to find a piece the size of a fist.

Some people will never even see such a treasure in their entire lives, let alone obtain it.

Upon hearing Dao Yan's words, Xia Qiu immediately became restless.

The ancient ancestor of the sect spent his entire life searching for the Primordial Life Stone, but he never found any trace of it.

I never expected that this kid would get it just from a casual adventure.

This made Xia Qiu envious. Could this kid be blessed by the heavens and have great fortune? How could he have such good luck?

Xia Qiu's gaze, which had been somewhat serious just moments before, now betrayed a smile.

He said urgently, "Where is the Primordial Life Stone? Quickly, bring it out so I can see it..."

Dao Yan felt like laughing at that excited expression.

He pointed to the alchemy furnace and said, "It's already been put into the alchemy furnace to refine pills."

Xia Qiu's excited expression froze instantly.

Inside the alchemy furnace, flames roared, and a rich fragrance wafted out.

Although the pills seemed miraculous, when he thought about the effects of the Primordial Life Stone, he immediately felt that Dao Yan was simply wasting a precious resource.

Xia Qiu immediately turned hostile, saying, "You brat, you've wasted such rare materials!"

He was about to slap Dao Yan when he said that.

"Master, wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet."

As he spoke, a silvery-white stone flew out.

It was only the size of a fist. As soon as it appeared, countless chaotic energies condensed around it, radiating an incomparably powerful vitality.

"It really is the Primordial Life Stone!" Xia Qiu exclaimed excitedly.

He looked at the Primordial Life Stone before him. It was entirely silver-white and did not appear to be dazzling, but at this moment, it became the only thing in his eyes.

The stone attracted everyone's attention, and they were all shocked by the vibrant life force and intense chaotic energy within it.

It was as if the place had been transformed into a primeval land.

This material was later considered one of the best materials for refining purification solutions.

At this time, the people of the Eternal Kingdom had not yet discovered this effect, nor did they know how to refine and apply it. However, Dao Yan boldly used it for experiments without any hesitation.

Because he had always wanted to extract the strongest evolution fluid from various materials, in addition to weapon crafting. Although he had a vague idea in mind, he still needed a lot of experiments to truly succeed.

At this moment, the fist-sized Primordial Life Stone was actually absorbing and consuming the Milky Way, making the stars in the sky twinkle.

The powerful life force it emits is very similar to the rhythm of human breathing and the rhythm of heartbeat.

According to legends throughout the universe, this treasure was created in the primordial era, during the mythical age, and was occasionally obtained by someone. It has been lost since the ancient times.

Now that the Primordial Era has ended and the Ancient Era has begun, it has been many years since anyone has seen the Primordial Life Stone reappear in this world.

Unless you borrow it from the Primordial Ancient Mine, ordinary people are not qualified to obtain the Primordial Life Stone.

Xia Qiu held the fist-sized stone in her palm, looking at its silvery-white material and the dense, intricate Daoist runes on it—the legendary Primordial Life Runes, containing the secret to immortality.

This divine material is truly incredibly precious.

Let alone refining it into elixirs, simply wearing it on one's body every day can help one comprehend the Great Dao and understand the mysteries of life.

"Hahaha..."

"Daoyan, you truly are a person of great fortune..."

"Come, I'll take you to see the patriarch..."

. . . .

When Xia Qiu brought Dao Yan to the Daoist temple, the ancient ancestor had already begun preaching to everyone.

Xia Qiu tried to calm herself down. Seeing that there were too many people, she kept quiet and listened to the lecture on the Great Dao with Dao Yan.

Dao Yan's talent for cultivation is indeed astonishing.

He had only listened for a short while when he immediately entered a state of enlightenment, frantically trying to comprehend the divine essence of the Great Dao emanating from that sage.

Three days later, Dao Yan's body shone with dazzling light, and his blood and qi surged into the sky.

Countless Dao runes and laws densely surrounded his body, making him appear sacred and powerful.

Dao Yan caused quite a commotion, and many disciples were shocked when they saw it.

Then they quickly made room for him.

Rumble.

The celestial sound of the Great Dao resounded, echoing the chanting of the ancient sages in the rain-shrouded curtain.

Seeing Dao Yan immersed in a state of enlightenment, the ancient sage was also full of surprise.

His eyes gleamed as he intently stared at Dao Yan, who was cultivating and comprehending the Dao.

Dao Yan was already one of the sect's geniuses. Coupled with his handsome appearance and amazing talent for cultivation, he quickly caught up with many of his senior brothers and sisters, which made him one of the sect's key talents to be cultivated.

At this moment, countless lights flashed, and countless divine lights of the Great Dao shone, making Dao Yan appear incomparably sacred, just like a god.

The fellow disciples around him, sensing this special divine aura of the Great Dao, seemed to have gained some enlightenment. They couldn't help but close their eyes and carefully comprehend the divine aura of the Great Dao emanating from Dao Yan.

Even Dao Yan's master, Xia Qiu, was carefully sensing the divine aura emanating from him. Many people were also gathered around, discussing profound mysteries, and their expressions were complex as they looked at Dao Yan's location.

Whether they were newly initiated disciples or seasoned veterans, they all felt somewhat incredulous as they looked at this rising star within the sect.

Although they had heard that there was an eccentric genius in the sect named Dao Yan who did not follow the usual path. On the path of Qi cultivation, he did not become an ascetic, but instead pondered unorthodox methods.

Many people thought that Dao Yan's understanding of the Great Dao was not outstanding, but at this moment, his performance astonished everyone.

At this moment, Dao Yan already possessed the strength of a second-level immortal, but the divine aura of the Great Dao emanating from his body made even a Dao-slaying king feel as if he had gained some insight.

Many people come to listen to the teachings on the Great Dao, but they only learn a little bit of the basics. However, after Dao Yan came here, he entered a state of enlightenment in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, it appeared extremely mysterious and powerful, with an air of boundless potential.

Many of the people who had arrived early to listen to the lecture felt a deep, indescribable sadness and felt extremely uncomfortable.

There's a feeling of being insignificant in front of geniuses.

Seeing that Dao Yan had entered a deep state of enlightenment, the ancient sage directly asked everyone to leave.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed them.

"The sermon is suspended for today; we will resume on another day!"

The voice of this ancient ancestor was majestic and sacred; his words were like a royal decree, not to be disobeyed.

Everyone obediently left the place.

At this moment, only Dao Yan remained before that ancient ancestor.

Even Xia Qiu was driven away.

At this moment, countless dense Dao runes flashed in the eyes of this ancient sage, and the might of a sage rippled around him.

His eyes clearly possessed a terrifying divine eye, capable of seeing through all illusions.

Not long after, Xia Qiu, along with several other Dao-Slaying experts from the sect, arrived here again.

Everyone was truly stunned by Dao Yan's astonishing performance.

They originally thought that Dao Yan was just an ordinary genius, and that it would be remarkable if he could become a Dao-Slaying King in the future.

But upon arriving here, one could sense the divine aura of the Great Dao emanating from Dao Yan's body, which clearly surpassed the potential of a sage.

They remained silent for a long time before someone sighed, "Dao Yan's talent for cultivation is so amazing, it's such a pity he was born in this era."

"Currently, the highest level of cultivation in our Eternal Kingdom is only a Saint King like the Ancient Ancestor, which is far inferior to the supreme god who proved his Dao and became an emperor in legend."

"I heard that the Ancient Starry Road will open soon. Perhaps we can send him there for training."

Listening to the elders' words, Xia Qiu took the initiative to say, "Fellow disciples, you may not know this, but this disciple has amazing talent in cultivation, but he is obsessed with unorthodox methods and has wasted countless hours on them. Whenever we try to persuade him, he just lets it go in one ear and out the other. He may say something nice to your face, but once he turns around, he will still do things his own way."

Xia Qiu wasn't trying to speak ill of Dao Yan, but rather hoping that everyone could discuss how to get this disciple back on the right track and reach a higher level.

The Ancient Sage of Rain Curtain listened to the crowd's discussion, smiling but saying nothing more.

He founded this entire sect.

These disciples and their descendants have been passed down for generations.

He found their argument quite amusing.

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, the ancient sage smiled and said, "The way to cultivate ordinary geniuses is naturally to follow the established procedures, but this Dao Yan is clearly different from the norm. Since that's the case, why don't we give him our full support? Perhaps he can forge his own path."

“Since he was able to find such a precious thing as the Primordial Stone, I believe he is a person with great fortune.”

"what?"

"The Primordial Stone?"

Everyone was shocked when they saw the fist-sized Primordial Life Stone that the Ancient Sage had taken out.

This was the very gift that Xia Qiu secretly gave to the ancient sage. During the time that Dao Yan was comprehending the Dao, he was also sensing the divine essence of the Great Dao on the Primordial Life Stone.

"There's no need for everyone to worry. Once Daoyan has recovered from his state of enlightenment, we'll discuss it together and see what kind of path he wants to take."

Since the ancestor has said so, everyone will naturally follow suit.

. . . .

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Dao Yan was immersed in a state of enlightenment, feeling as if he had experienced countless ages, yet he seemed to wake up in an instant. On this day, he finally opened his eyes and regained his clarity.

Nothing earth-shattering happened, but Dao Yan's gaze was calm and natural.

The astonishing sight around his body had vanished, and the surrounding crowd had disappeared as well.

At this moment, the moonlight and starlight emanating from the sky flowed down like a waterfall, nourishing this sacred land.

"Ancestor!"

Dao Yan looked at the old ancestor before him, at this white-haired old man with a youthful face, and exclaimed in surprise.

Originally, everyone was cultivating and comprehending the Dao together, but now he was the only one left, which truly surprised Dao Yan.

"Yes, you are Dao Yan, that's really impressive!"

Do you know how long it took you to achieve enlightenment this time?

Before Dao Yan could answer, the ancient sage said, "More than thirty days, you actually comprehended the Dao for more than thirty days at once."

"I have never seen such a disciple or grand-disciple with such amazing comprehension. Even I myself could not do this back then."

Dao Yan looked at the ancestor and said modestly, "Ancestor, you flatter me!"

"I still have a long way to go."

With a flash of divine light, the ancient sage revealed an ancient and weathered alchemy furnace, exuding the aura of time. It was clearly an ancient alchemy furnace that had existed for countless millennia.

The ancient sage looked at the alchemy furnace and said to Dao Yan with a smile, "Is this the super evolution fluid you've been researching?"

Dao Yan was surprised that his research had attracted the attention of the ancestor.

Many people despise him for using external things to improve his spiritual level, but he firmly believes that if he takes this path to the extreme, it will definitely have amazing results.

He has already chosen his own path and will not easily change it.

"Yes, this is the super evolution fluid I've always dreamed of."

Dao Yan stepped forward and gently opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.

Inside, an extremely dazzling light emanated, with countless divine rays and auspicious colors rising and swirling.

An alluring fragrance wafted out, comparable to the legendary elixir of immortality.

Dao Yan's hands moved continuously, carefully inserting countless Dao runes into the object.

Finally, they were sealed away again.

"This super evolution fluid needs to be extracted and refined multiple times."

"This is only the most basic version in my deductions," Dao Yan said.

The ancient sage was also very surprised as he comprehended the divine essence of the Great Dao flowing within the super evolution fluid.

Fortunately, he was knowledgeable and experienced, and quickly calmed himself down.

He stroked his snow-white beard and said to Dao Yan, "I've heard many disciples in the sect speak ill of you. They say you're arrogant and conceited, that you've gone astray, spending your days studying unorthodox methods instead of being a diligent cultivator, wasting countless resources of the sect, and ultimately producing a worthless opportunist. But today, seeing your Super Evolution Liquid, even I am shocked."

"I think they're all wrong!"

"Your talent in this area is just as amazing as your talent in weapon crafting."

"You should not only not give up, but you should also make good use of your talent."

"A path that no one else has walked does not necessarily mean that the path is impassable. If you can make the path passable, then you will become the pioneer of this path."

The ancient sage looked at Dao Yan with encouraging eyes.

Dao Yan was very surprised after hearing this.

He truly hadn't expected that the patriarch of the sect would be so enlightened, allowing him to develop freely and supporting him in embarking on this unprecedented and unheard-of path of greatness.

"I believe you won't let yourself become obsessed with trivial things."

"I believe you will always have a heart that yearns for the Way."

"I believe that all paths in the universe lead to the same destination. Once you have mastered these unorthodox methods to their fullest extent, you will surely be able to forge an unprecedented path of greatness."

The voice of the Ancient Sage in the Rain Curtain remained sacred and majestic. To Dao Yan, it was like the resounding toll of a great bell, shaking his mind and spirit.
